As good as Allan's skill set and intuition are, he's still working with a given design, with potential flaws which may limit the quality of the final result. If the bike turns out to be a museum attraction, like the "batcycle" I'll be pretty disappointed. If the bike does make it to the salt flats and makes a few passes, it won't matter if they break records or not to me.  It's making your best effort to compete that is worthy of respect.  Just to see what sort of speed this mythical bike will actually do is what I'm curious about.  Then, if it does some 180mph speed runs or better and they want to park it in a museum, at least it's got a performance history and isn't just another batcycle oddity.
